Portable Kegerator, Hank the Beer Tank, Launches Kickstarter Campaign

Enjoy Fresh Draft Beer on the Go!

Cold draft beer everywhere you go without the hassle of ice is now a reality with Hank the Beer Tank. Hank, as he is affectionately referred to, is the first portable, electric kegerator on the market. Developed by Adam Koeppel and Sebastian Ehreiser of Washington D.C., the patent pending invention holds 1/6 of a barrel of your favorite draft beer or other beverage. That’s enough for 55 x 12 oz. pours. The machine is small enough to fit in a sedan, or the classic red wagon Ehreiser uses, making it perfect for use at home or on the go. Hank runs off 110-240 AC or 12-24 DC, so you can plug it into a household outlet, an extension cord, a boat, a battery, or a car’s 12 volt outlet. It keeps one’s favorite brew, wine, or cocktail cold, fresh, and pressurized for several weeks.

Koeppel and Ehreiser have been testing and optimizing the machine for 18 months. It has been demonstrated at beer festivals, barbeques, tailgates, and breweries. All the feedback collected has been used to modify and revise several prototypes.
